The Great Graftsby -- Tom Sullivan [View all]
“A Little Party Never Killed Nobody”
. . .
Fresh off of demolishing the East Wing of the White House to erect a garish, 90,000 sq-ft ballroom funded by billionaires and megacorporations, Trump jetted off to Mar-a-Lago for an opulent, Great Gatsby-themed Halloween party for more rich friends. Associated Press White House Correspondent Danny Kemp posted a photo reporting “Official theme is Gatsby and ‘a little party never killed nobody’,” a song from the 2013 film The Great Gatsby.
“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
